Description

The number one best-selling detective series from the award-winning Stuart MacBride continues in this second crime thriller.

It's summertime in Scotland: the sun is shining, the sky is blue and people are dying....

It's summertime in the Granite City: the sun is shining, the sky is blue and people are dying....

It starts with Rosie Williams, a prostitute, stripped naked and beaten to death down by the docks - the heart of Aberdeen's red light district. For DS Logan McRae, it's a bad start to another bad day.

Rosie won't be the only one making an unscheduled trip to the morgue. Across the city six people are burning to death in a petrol-soaked squat, the doors and windows screwed shut from the outside.

And despite Logan's best efforts, it's not long before another prostitute turns up on the slab....

Ce que les critiques en disent

" Dying Light is a wonderfully gripping and grim second outing for Logan McRae.... Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order." (Mark Billingham)

Enjoyed this book!

#Audible1.......I walked around with my earphones on for three days while I listened to this book. I intend to read the entire Logan McRae series. I had to skip thru the part where Colin Miller was being tortured. It was a bit too gruesome for me. There were some parts that made me laugh with some of the remarks the officers made to and about each other and other parts were very sad. Looking forward to the next book!

This was one of my favorite books of the year. The dialogue is great and the gallows humor priceless.

Very Disappointing

I try to avoid being negative, but am very disappointed with the 2nd Logan McRea novel. My problem comes from the language which seems to be one long run of curses and constant use of the "F" word. There may be people somewhere who talk like this, but I have never met any of them. It just distracts from the story when every sentence of dialogue is loaded with foul language.
Sadly I think I am finished with Logan McRae. There are too many other novels to choose from.

I Tried

Logan is the shining star of the police force. Violence, violence, violence. Logan screws up. Someone/everyone is mad at Logan or each other. Violence, violence, violence. Logan is about to get sacked. Logan feels bad. Insert Keystone Kop behavior. Logan saves the day.
IMO if the story/characters lack depth by the end of the 2nd book it’s time to move on.

I don’t understand the complaints of graphic content.

That’s like buying a wood stove, opening it, and then being upset that it’s too hot. You know what to expect (or at least what ballpark it’s in) with the genre. So stick to your Murder She Wrote or Perry Mason.

That said, Stuart MacBride does it again. Not as good as the debut but still very enjoyable. I will def continue the Logan McRae series.

Steel always steals the show

Would you listen to Dying Light again? Why?

Yes. I love the Stuart MacBride series. The books are fast paced and the characters excellently developed. I am still plowing through the series, but if I went back and reread I'd probably find things I missed the first time. Plus, although the main character is great, I'd read them all over again just for DI Steel

What other book might you compare Dying Light to and why?

This series is pretty stand out for me. I've not read such a gritty and humorous crime series like this before where I could compare it to anything else.

Any additional comments?

I see on Goodreads that people knock DI Steel, but I find her the best character. She's horrendously brazen and obtuse. She's the funniest interruption in the series and underneath all her scratching, threats and bullying her heart comes through like a beacon. I normally read though a book or a series and the characters are just that, but Steel is probably my favorite character of any books that I have read - and I AM ALWAYS listening to books. To Mr. MacBride - please don't ever kill her off as she brings a fantastic element to your series.

Not for me

I thought the protagonist was immature and insecure, always blaming himself and apologizing. And groaning--seriously! More colorful and varied expressions of frustration would have been appreciated, but no, bloody this and bloody that. His boss in this episode was so disgusting and ever present that i could almost smell her chain smoked cigarettes. I dont do torture (violence porn), so had to do some fast forwarding.

Happy to have found a new series to listen to

What did you love best about Dying Light?

Logan McRae is a talented, well intentioned policeman who seems to manage to not quite stuff things up.

What about Steve Worsley’s performance did you like?

Easy-to-listen-to scottish accent. Good with voices.

Great series

It isn’t funny like McDermid or Kirk but the characters are complex and I like how vivid the writing is. You can really imagine the scenes. It’s a very good adaptation with a great narrator. Also the book is very nice moving. I can’t imagine why abridged versions exist.

A good addition to the series

I would recommend reading the 1st book before going into this 2nd book. The author has some reoccurring characters, And each of them have some growth and he paints some ever increasing depth to all of them. Make no mistake it's an adult book with RR rated or greater violence in storyline. Some people have a problem with it. I think the city of Aberdeen is also a character a dark character in the novel. The plot takes some time to develop and has twists and turns that make it interesting. The performance was done by the same Audio performer who did the 1st one and did a really nice job. I look forward to the 3rd book and listening to another stellar performance.
